OpenAI says it’s forced to store deleted ChatGPT conversations “indefinitely” due to a court order issued as part of The New York Times’ copyright lawsuit against it. In a post on Thursday, OpenAI chief operating officer Brad Lightcap says the company is appealing the court’s decision, which he calls an “overreach” that “abandons long-standing privacy norms and weakens privacy protections.”

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said Thursday that the company plans to appeal a court decision in a copyright case brought by The New York Times.
“Recently the NYT asked a court to force us to not delete any user chats. We think this was an inappropriate request that sets a bad precedent,” Altman wrote in a post on X, adding that the company is “appealing the decision.”
At first glance, it sounds shocking and absurd. But what makes it even stranger is that this case dates back to 1988. Whether it’s true or not, it was well-documented at the time. The real issue is that news outlets are now reporting it as if it just happened—an obvious attempt at clickbait.
The story revolves around a 15-year-old South African girl who was reportedly caught performing oral sex on another man by her boyfriend. A violent altercation followed, and during the fight, the boyfriend stabbed her in the abdomen. According to reports from that time, sperm on the knife led to her pregnancy.
Before dismissing the story entirely, consider this: the girl was born with a rare condition affecting about a few thousand people worldwide—she had no vaginal opening, making traditional conception impossible.
This isn’t the first time The Sun has run this story.
Through a Google keyword search (archive), Snopes determined a few years that iterations of the incident have circulated in online circles since at least 2010 and have recirculated frequently in the years following.
Every few years, they bring it back, saying the report has “resurfaced.” It seems like a cheap trick to drive clicks—and, well, it worked. I clicked. But I wonder how many other people saw the headline and reacted with the same disbelief.
This is what makes things so annoying — while we may have some proof the story was true, it seems disingenuous to continue recycling it repeatedly to get your attention. And is the HORROR REPORT any better for publishing something being critical–and also being a part of this 88-bait?
The Onion, the satirical news company that repeatedly spoofed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, has won the bankruptcy auction for control over his media empire — most notably InfoWars, the far-right, conspiracy-minded website that served as Jones’ primary online platform.
Not all details have been made public.. but media reporting this:
“I just got word 15 minutes ago that my lawyers and folks met with the U.S. trustee over our bankruptcy this morning and they said they are shutting us down even without a court order this morning,” Jones said.
“The Connecticut democrats with The Onion newspaper bought us,” he added.
The Onion plans to shutter Jones’ InfoWars and rebuild the website featuring well-known internet humor writers and content creators,according to a person with knowledge of the sale.
The POST said that Trump was bandaged but photos were not permitted to be taken..
Some quotes:
On the shooting: “I’m not supposed to be here, I’m supposed to be dead,” Trump said. “I’m supposed to be dead”
On the “get my shoes” request.. “The agents hit me so hard that my shoes fell off, and my shoes are tight,” he said with a smile.
On the shooter: “They took him out with one shot right between the eyes,” the former president said as he pointed to the bridge of his nose. “They did a fantastic job,” he added. “It’s surreal for all of us.”
On the photo and the “fight” with a fist pump: “A lot of people say it’s the most iconic photo they’ve ever seen,” Trump said. “They’re right and I didn’t die. Usually you have to die to have an iconic picture.” He added, “I just wanted to keep speaking, but I just got shot.”
“By luck or by God, many people are saying it’s by God I’m still here,” he said.
This should be a really cool limited series podcast on ‘Finding Matt Drudge’ !!
First episode drops in a week according to this X post ..
He has becomes increasingly mysterious and secretive and clearly very anti Trump.. this podcast is set to go in depth and should be really cool to listen to.
We can’t wait to (maybe?) hear answers to these questions.
Kansas. Tap those Ruby shoes because there’s no place like home…
This just in..
Officials with the Marion Police Department confiscated computers and cellphones from the publisher and staff of the Marion County Record in Friday’s raid.
On Monday, Kansas state authorities confirmed they are also involved in a criminal probe of the newspaper over allegations that it illegally obtained and used personal information about a local business owner.
Friday’s raids have been widely condemned by many as a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s protection for a free press.
Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly called the raids “concerning.”
Newspaper publisher and co-owner Eric Meyer said he believes the newspaper’s dogged coverage of local politics and Police Chief Gideon Cody’s record are the main reason for the raids. The Record was in the midst of digging into the newly hired chief’s past as a Kansas City, Missouri, police captain when the raids were carried out, Meyer said, although the newspaper hasn’t yet published a story.
The newspaper’s attorney, Bernie Rhodes of Kansas City, sent a letter to the Cody demanding that police not review any information on the computers or cellphones seized, saying they were taken illegally and contain identities of confidential sources. He also accuses Cody of misinterpreting laws on privacy and wrongly applying them to news reporters.
What makes the situation even worse is the fact that police also raided the home of Eric Meyer’s mom (she was as co owner of the paper and contributed a weekly column.. the day after the raid the 98 year old woman passed away..
Now new information has been revealed that the paper was also doing an expose on the town’s police chief ..
This video is a good summary of the strange twists and turns in this story:
The shocking announcement that CNN+ would be shutting down operations less than a month after it launched has left out-of-work staffers “aghast and furious” over the company’s handling of what sources inside the network call “an absolute debacle.”
Facebook is restricting access to content from RT and Sputnik on both its main social media platform and Instagram following “requests from a number of governments,” according to he company’s vice president Nick Clegg.
Users who attempt to visit the YouTube channels of either Sputnik or RT or watch videos posted from those channels are now met with a message saying “this channel is not available in your country,” and “this video is not available in your country,” This even applies to non-EU countries, including the UK.
TIME’sEditor-in-Chief said that Elon Musk has had an “extraordinary influence for Life on Earth and life off Earth, too.” It’s no secret that he had an extreme dominance over “many things in America’s life right now” — from the space industry, to the automobile industry, to his influence on social media with millions of followers.
During one less than influential moment, Musk dressed as Wario during a less than Stellar Snl Skit causing a virtual coin to collapse..
